Gia Lam used to tell her friend Lily Tran what she would do when her son was old enough to start school. She'd take her boy by one hand and Lily's boy by the other and walk them both in together, one boy on each side. Lily still remembers exactly how she used to say it. "She was innocent, sweet, outgoing, very reliable," Lily recalls. Gia, 32, moved to Sydney from Vietnam in 2010 and settled in Cabramatta, working as a waitress and sending most of her income home to her parents. She rented a room from Lily and over the years the two women became so close they were like sisters. When Gia fell pregnant, Lily found her lighter work at her own workplace, driving her in each day. When Gia went into hospital to give birth, Lily expected to see her friend again within days. But three days later Gia Lam was dead. Reporting by Victoria Pengilley.
